Responding to concerns, modified proposals to relocate the city's downtown post office and institute a citywide no camping ordinance will be back Tuesday night before the Vallejo City Council.

The proposed unlawful camping and personal property ordinance -- which will require a second council vote later this month to move forward -- addresses some worries that the new law is not proactive about the city's homelessness issues.

Proposal updates detail escalating punitive steps police officers are asked to take when addressing people illegally camped on city public property.

First, illegal campers will be verbally asked to leave. Verbal request would be followed by a warning, then a citation, then an arrest, if needed.

Contingent on available police staffing, responding officers will be asked to ascertain needs of encountered homeless people and provide resources information to them. The Code Enforcement Division will be responsible for similar steps on private property.

Removed from the ordinance was a provision banning people from living in their cars was removed as well as language specifying that those targeted are occupying public property in a nuisance manner or causing a disturbance.

The council also will also look at updated responses to the proposed agreement with the U.S. Postal Service to relocate the Santa Clara Street office and distribution center to 2635 Napa St.

Council members aired concerns that the new site would not be required to include a retail component, leaving the downtown without those services. City staff members share the council's concerns, according to a meeting report, but indicated that including such a provision "would delay this project and potentially endanger the city's MTC (Metropolitan Transportation Commission) funding."

The postal service has also agreed to share building design plans with city officials, which they will then be able to bring to a future council meeting for public comment. However, the postal service will retain "ultimate discretion" over the facility's design.

In other agenda items, the council is scheduled to consider:

* Establishing a salary range of $107,359.41 to $130,495.87 for the newly created and as-of-yet unfilled economic development manager position

* Establishing a salary range, including all incentive pays, of $159,461 to $193,825 for the fire chief position.

* Pre-approving travel expenses for the mayor's sister city trade mission to Tanzania in March.
